My secretary is in the process of informing patients individually, who will be taking over their care.

Current wait times in Kingston for surgery are between 1-2 years. If patients feel that is too Long to wait there are opportunities to have your surgery done elsewhere in a quicker time frame.

Current wait times at other hospitals vary from 3-6 months and is a perfectly viable option for those willing to travel. It is the patients choice to have their surgery performed wherever they wish and those wait times apply to most hospitals between Ottawa and Toronto along the 401 corridor.
